In this episode, Marrisa, a member of Revolutionary Reads book club, joins us to discuss two essays from the book Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde. Marrisa, a Junior at Lincoln University majoring in Political Science, explains these two essays as something she kept going back to this summer. The first of the two we discuss is titled "Uses of the Erotic: Erotic as Power," and Lorde insists that in order for women to live a fulfilling life, it is important that they tap into the erotic and use it scrutinize all aspects of their life. The second essay "Sexism: An American Disease in Blackface," is more centered around Black men raising our consciousness in order to understand the ways in which sexism stymies us from liberation and having healthy relationships with Black women. Throughout this conversation, we cover many topics such as the relationship sex workers have with their erotic powers and what is needed from Black men in order for us to have healthy relationships with Black women. Tune in for a great discussion!
